Marine Engine Duty Cycles
The International Council of Marine Industry
Associations (ICOMIA) Standard No. 36-88

of engine running and usage. This duty cycle
is used to determine average spark plug lon-

even for a brief start-up—without supplying
water to it. Refer to Flushing on page 40.
ICOMIA Marine Engine Duty Cycle
Following Engine Starting on page 20, start
the outboard. If the outboard was auto-winter-
ized, it will smoke for a short time after the first
start of the season.
Let engine idle and observe running quality. If
poor, refer to Troubleshooting on page 46 or
see your Dealer.
Let engine idle and confirm water pump oper-
ation. Water must flow from the water pump
indicator in a steady stream. If it does not,
shut off the outboard and investigate. Refer to
Engine Overheating on page 36.
Stop the outboard and check the fuel system
for leaks.
